Proactive management of weather and climate related risks (ELASTINEN)
ELASTINEN project provides information and seeks solutions for strengthening the capabilities of different sectors to assess and manage risks related to weather, climate, and economic impacts. The project also aims to decrease the vulnerability of Finnish society and increase its adaptive capacity to changing climate.
Objectives: The main objectives of the ELASTINEN project are:
support coherent/consistent adaptation to climate change
develop solutions for different sectors for risk assessment and management related to extreme weather and climate events, such as thunder storms in 2010 and Tapani storm on Boxing day 2011, using also economic assessment methods
find out what kind of information and tools different actors need and study the possibilities to develop climate services and application tools for adaptation
study how the international impacts of climate change (such as raw material availability, food security, water security, climate refugees) will be reflected to Finland and how they should be taken into account in risk management but also what kind of economic possibilities they provide.
